BIG AND LITTLE BILL.
A PARTNERSHIP, A WIDOW AND AN
ANICABLE ADJUSTMENT.

Big Bill aud Little Bill were COM
bined in the forming of strong ev-
idence that friendship, which is sup
posed to be based on judgment, is
sometimes as capricious as love,
which, tits declared, has for its foun-
dation sort of impulsive fancy.
Big Bill was almost a giant; Little
Bill was almost dwarf. They first
met at card table--or rather at a
card cotton bale on the Mississippi
river-and, as they averrcd, hanker-
cd at once for each Others society.
They became 50 much attached II
one another that they soon decided
to settle down together, SO building
themselves cabin in Chicot County,
Arkansas, they began the business

oddity of the firm was a valuable adj
vertisement, and it is we'll known
that negroes rode at least ten miles,
Saturday afternoons, to deal with the

which read as follows, :" Big Bill &
Little Bill conveyed the only in
telligence that the community had
ever received in regard to their
names, but, as people who live in
the Mississippi river bottoms are
not curious in regard to the affairs of
other men, no one showed those
symptoms of uneasy concern which
make life in hillside village the fit
abode of Beelzebub. Ofcourse some
one would occasionally ask ques-
tion something like this: Say, did
you fellers lose your other names

that was ever rendered was the fol-
lowing answer. sometimes delivered
by the giant and sometimes by the
dwarf:

trampled it under foot so long that it does not
